"Herd Bull" is made of metal, weighs over two tons, and is 15 feet long and 21 feet wide. Sculpted by by Montana artist Benji Daniels in 1990, who says it's the largest buffalo skull in the world: 12 times the size of a normal buffalo skull.

Sculptor Benji Daniels has been trucking around this giant skull for years, hoping to find it a permanent home. It was in Jamestown, North Dakota, for a while, then cross-state in Medora. Now it's back in Montana, where it was made in 1990.

Giant Buffalo Skull

The skull must have been moved. I could find it nowhere in Medora.

The skull has been "on tour" of the Great Plains for the past several years, so it will probably turn up elsewhere later in 2018.

Large Buffalo Skull

The Large Buffalo Skull is across from the Cowboy Hall of Fame. I believe that this is the same buffalo skull that had been across from the Buffalo Museum in Jamestown.

You're correct. Montana artist Benji Daniels has hauled this giant skull to several locations, leaving it for a year at a time, hoping that someone will buy it. Thus far, no takers.
